Abstract
Past-present-future, as a concept and expression, resides in many First Nations-related narratives. It’s just that it is interpreted in Western grammar as ‘past, present and future’. The former links all three temporal dimensions together, whereas the latter breaks the concept into three different time zones, thereby disconnecting and compartmentalising the concept. Country + Language all reside within the former possessing respective relational dynamics. The act of planning, the act of designing, the ‘art’ and expressing of language, and the way ofReadingthe Country (Benterrak et al., 1984) all reside in past-present-future and are interpreted at any point in time in discussion and engagements as past-present-future.
